What's next?

You know, i really had a great time posting photos from my Kota Kinabalu trip. It was such an enjoyment!! But, good things always come to an end, right? So, before i start my wild imaginations posting again.......there's however a tip of advise i got as an email from my friend the other day......it serves as a reminder for those that always eat out, or those that go travelling and got carried away....too happy and forgot to check minor things like this!!!! Hopefully after this post, you will put your hand-phone calculator to good use!!!

Below is an example,( image extracted from the email i got,) it happened in a restaurant in Hong Kong. Basically it's a normal bill which we get after every meal if we are eating out...so what's wrong with it?? Try adding the amount and you will know what i mean!!!!


Say for example, by adding all the amounts on the bill.....
45+36+65+68+98+88+8+68+42 = $518!!! Hello? It aint $548 as shown on the bill ok? Plus the service fee it will only be $ 573!!! See how much more you need to pay if you don't check your bills properly???

I'm sure if you bring the problem to the cashier or the waiter/waitress, they will either come back to you and blame it's a techincal fault....but a fault is a fault, and you need to fix that right??

So be sure to check your bills next time you eat out!!!! and don't get conned!!!

We hope ur post will make the other to b more careful with their bill.

And the question is, "Did the restaurant intend to do it?"
